The Indonesia second home visa allows eligible foreigners to live in Indonesia for 5 or 10 years and is one of the most attractive long-term stay options for foreign property buyers considering Bali as a base.
The Immigration Directorate General at the Law and Human Rights Ministry has officially launched a long-stay visa dubbed the second home visa for foreigners or former Indonesian citizens. This visa allows holders to stay in the country for 5 or 10 years and carry out various activities including investing, working remotely, and other activities.
Applications for a second home visa can be made through the official online immigration portal: visa-online.imigrasi.go.id.
The required documents are as follows:
- National passport valid for a minimum of 36 months;
- Proof of funds in an account owned by the applicant or a guarantor with a value of at least Rp. 2,000,000,000 (two billion rupiah, approximately USD 130,000);
- Recent colour photograph (4 cm x 6 cm, white background);
- Curriculum Vitae.
The second home visa targets certain foreigners or former Indonesian citizens who want to stay and contribute positively to the Indonesian economy. The visa fee (PNBP) is Rp. 3,000,000 (approximately USD 185) as per Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 2 of 2022. Payment can be made from outside Indonesia through the official PNBP payment portal.
The visa is designed to attract a wide range of people including high earners, retirees, remote workers, and digital nomads who want to build a life in Indonesia. Unlike earlier digital nomad visa proposals, the proof of funds requirement of USD 130,000 makes this primarily suited to financially established individuals rather than entry-level remote workers.
